Granted: 1903-08-13
Abstract: 14,422. Kops, D. Jan. 5, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Corsets; stocking suspenders. - Relates to the construction of an abdominal corset with the object to increase the supporting action. The lower front portions of the corset are fitted with triangular metal forms or plates c, c<1>, Fig. 1, which abut against the edges of the corset steels b, b<1> thus stiffening the corset, and giving a flat configuration at these parts. In the construction shown at the left-hand side of Fig. 1, the steel b and metal form c are covered by a strip of fabric h, which is secured by a line 3 of sewing round the triangular form. A flap 4, connected to the lower edge of the corset, is provided for the attachment of the hose supporter ; or a strap 5 is secured to the lower edge of the corset for this purpose. In a modified construction shown at the right-hand side of Fig. 1, the covering for the steel and metal form extends below the lower edge of the corset, and eyelets 2, passing through the coverings and the metal form, are nsed to support the diverging straps d, d<1> of the hose supporter, the straps being covered by the extension of the covering of the corset. The edges of the coverings 6, 7, Fig. 3, of the steel and the triangular form respectively, are connected, at their adjacent edges, by a line of sewing 8, an additional line of sewing 9 being made to secure the top and under fabric h, h<1> and to give increased strength to the connected parts. The suspender straps d, d<1> pass through a slotted plate e, which allows for adjustment of the support to the movements of the body. The flaps below the inner ends of the steels are connected by a hook and eye g, g<1>, Fig. 4, the eye g<1> being placed between the coverings h, h', and the coverings 6 of the steel, and secured by an eyelet 10.

Granted: 1903-09-17
Abstract: 17,205. Boult, A. J., [Giraud, L.]. Aug. 7. Plug cocks. - In a flushing -cistern divided into two closed compartments a, b, these compartments are filled, i turn, through a plugcock e, which also acts as the discharge valve of the compartments. A separate float valve is thus dispensed with. The atmosphere has free access to the compartments, when filling and emptying, by passages l guarded by ball valves s, which float up against seats, as shown, when the water rises, and thus prevent escape of water. In the position shown, the supply, entering by the pipe c, passes through the port m in the plug to the compartment a by the pipe j, the compartment b meanwhile discharging through the port o. When the plug is turned, either by hand or through the lever f and pull-chains g connected together by the lever i, the compartment a empties through the port o, and the compartment b is re-charged through the port n. The movements of the lever f are limited by stops p.
